| dbo:abstract | Sir Joseph Beecham, 1st Baronet (8 June 1848 – 23 October 1916) was a British businessman. Beecham was the eldest son of Thomas Beecham and Jane Evans. He played a large part in the growth and expansion of his father's medicinal pill business which he joined in 1866. He was responsible for Beechams' factory and office in Westfield Street, St. Helens, being built in 1885. A factory was subsequently opened in New York followed by more factories and agencies in several other countries. The increasing demands placed on him by his father's business meant he had to step down from his position as the parish organist of St John the Evangelist, Ravenhead. Beecham was the proprietor of the Aldwych Theatre in London, a justice of the peace for Lancashire and was mayor of St. Helens between 1889 and 1899 and again from 1910 to 1912. He was made a baronet, of Ewanville in the Parish of Huyton in the County Palatine of Lancaster, in 1914. He was invested as a Knight of the Order of Saint Stanislaus by Tsar Nicholas II. Beecham was a patron of the arts and purchased a number of paintings by J. M. W. Turner Beecham married Josephine Burnett in 1873. He died on 23 October 1916, aged 68, was succeeded in the baronetcy by his eldest son, Thomas, who had been knighted in his own right earlier in 1916 for his services to music as an orchestral conductor.

Joseph Beecham werd de rechterhand van zijn vader in de fabriek in St. Helens. Hij deelde zijn vaders commerciële flair maar was theoretisch beter onderlegd. Samen zorgden ze voor de internationale expansie van Beecham's Pills (later GlaxoSmithKline). In 1888 werd een productie-eenheid in de Verenigde Staten geopend. Het bedrijf floreerde, onder andere door een agressieve stijl van adverteren. Zijn vader trok zich officieel terug uit het bedrijf in 1895 maar bleef toch actief tot zijn dood in 1907. Onder Joseph werd de expansie verder gezet. Hij trok zich terug uit het bedrijf in 1913 en overleed enkele jaren later. Joseph Beecham werd geridderd en kreeg de titel van 1e Baronet. Hij was de vader van dirigent Thomas Beecham. (nl) |
